Orange Orchard 2026 Animal Impact PR Grant

At Orange Orchard, we exist to help meaningful missions get the attention they deserve. That’s why we’re proud to launch the Orange Orchard 2026 Animal Impact PR Grant, awarding $5,000 in professional public relations services to one 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping animals.

To apply, eligible nonprofits must complete the online application form below during the published application period. The form will ask for basic organizational details, including nonprofit status and years in operation, a description of your mission and the animals you serve, measurable impact and programs, current PR or marketing challenges, and how professional publicity would help you expand your reach and do more good.

Applications will be reviewed by Orange Orchard leadership, with one recipient selected based on demonstrated impact, alignment with our mission, need for increased visibility, clarity of goals, and growth potential. The selected nonprofit will receive $5,000 in professional PR services, including a press release, media outreach, and a PR Newswire state distribution fee.
